The Cold Truth: Europe Seeks War w/Russia, not Peace Lt Col Daniel Davis

The presentation argues that while Western leaders claim to seek a "just and lasting peace" in the Russia-Ukraine war, their actions—such as increasing military aid and pushing for massive defense spending—suggest they are preparing for a larger war with Russia. The speaker highlights a growing ideological divide between the West and Russia regarding what peace actually means.

Key points include:

European Union leaders, including Ursula von der Leyen, have proposed an €800 billion defense plan to "rearm Europe" and strengthen Ukraine.

Western leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, frame Russia as an ongoing threat, justifying further military escalation.

The West's definition of peace seems to involve weakening Russia while strengthening Ukraine, which may prolong the conflict rather than resolve it.

Russian officials, including Sergey Lavrov, claim they seek an end to the war but blame the West for fueling the conflict.

The speaker critiques Western policymakers for ignoring historical lessons about war, suggesting their strategy could lead to an unwinnable, catastrophic conflict.

He compares the current situation to Cold War-era military buildups, warning that continued escalation increases the risk of global war, including nuclear conflict.

Overall, the presentation is highly critical of Western policies, portraying them as unrealistic and dangerous, potentially leading to an avoidable and devastating war.
